Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority (Sewa) held talks with leading Indian construction group Larsen & Toubro (L&T) on its future developments and discussed ways to boost partnership for the upcoming ‘smart energy’ projects, according to a report by the UAE state news agency WAM.
Dr Rashid Al Leem, the chairman of Sewa, and Praveen Gopal, sales manager at Larsen & Toubro, who led the company delegation, discussed the major strategic plans of Sewa for 2020 and future projects.
Al Leem said Sewa has already started implementing a number of projects to raise the efficiency of plants by 50% and reduce network wastage.
The Sharjah utility, he stated, was keen to implement a number of developmental projects. “Sewa is set to complete two distribution stations with 132 kV and 10 other distribution stations with 33 kV range besides changing cables and modifying networks more than 30 years,” he added.
